Not really, no.
Sniffing sharpies very much can cause brain damage because of the specific chemical solvents they contain, in which case certain brain cells will stop functioning due to toxicity; this is most likely where this urban legend comes from.
While it is not true, it is good to heed the warnings anyways, because though sniffing sharpies will get you high, over a longer term period they can cause various detriments such as weight (muscle) loss and depression.
However, if you are worried about just using them, don't. I like the smell of sharpies myself, I just don't sniff them and I am fine.
